His books include “Rethinking Depression,” \u201cMastering Creative Anxiety,” “Creative Recovery,” “A Writer\u2019s San Francisco,” and “A Writer\u2019s Paris”. He lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with his family.[2]Maisel is the author of more than 40 books and a creativity coach.[1][3][4][5][6] He trains creativity coaches and provides training for the Creativity Coaching Association.[1]Creativity coaching[edit]In the early 1990s, Maisel developed the coaching specialty of creativity coaching. Creativity coaching focuses on helping creative and performing artists meet their emotional and practical challenges.[citation needed]In his 2005 book Coaching the Artist Within, Maisel presents anecdotal case studies of his creativity coaching work with creative and performing artists and presents lessons of importance to artists, among them “creating in the middle of things,” \u201cupholding dreams and testing reality,” \u201ccommitting to goal-oriented process,” and “maintaining a creative life.”[7]Mental health[edit]In his 2012 book Rethinking Depression: How to Shed Mental Health Labels and Create Personal Meaning, Maisel rejects the idea that a case has been made for the existence of the \u201cmental disorder of depression,\u201d given the weakness of the construct \u201cmental disorder,\u201d the insufficiency of diagnosing on the basis of symptom pictures alone, and the reasonableness of supposing that what we are seeing is profound sadness instead; and presents an \u201cupdated existential program\u201d for dealing with “profound sadness”.[8][9][10][11]Atheism[edit]A lifelong atheist, Maisel described in his 2009 book The Atheist’s Way: Living Well Without Gods how individuals can negotiate the paradigm shift from seeking meaning (in religion, spiritual pursuits, or anywhere else) to making meaning.[12]Dismay Maya Press, 1982The Blackbirds of Mulhouse Maya Press, 1984The Fretful Dancer Aegina Press, 1988Staying Sane in the Arts Tarcher\/Penguin, 1992Artists Speak Harper San Francisco, 1993Fearless Creating Tarcher\/Penguin, 1995Affirmations for Artists Tarcher\/Penguin, 1996Living the Writer’s Life Watson-Guptill, 1999Deep Writing Tarcher\/Penguin, 1999The Creativity Book Tarcher\/Penguin, 200020 Communication Tips for Families New World Library, 2000Sleep Thinking Adams Media, 200020 Communication Tips at Work New World Library, 2001The Van Gogh Blues Rodale, 2002Write Mind Tarcher\/Penguin, 2002The Art of the Book Proposal Tarcher\/Penguin 2004Writers and Artists on Love New World Library, 2004Writers and Artists on Devotion New World Library, 2004Performance Anxiety Backstage Books, 2005Coaching the Artist Within New World Library, 2005A Writer’s Paris Writer’s Digest Books, 2005A Writer’s San Francisco New World Library, 2006What Would your Character do?
